light blue, green, and purple. shoals of silver fish darting just below the surface of a sunlit creek. a harbor seal resting on the shore beside another seal sculpted out of sand. pastel sunsets; mule ears; smooth pebbles; fluffy moths. a handful of seaglass, a flash of lightning. walking out of your house at night during a rainstorm and realizing you're in a dream. a hare with six ears, a kestrel with six legs. sitting curled on the couch listening as friends talk, quiet but content. a neatly made bed and a messy desk. fire escapes. deer wandering briefly across the front lawn. going home.
